01 Vinification

The grapes are carefully hand-harvested in the second half of September, at optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve the freshness and aromatic integrity of the fruit. After fermentation, the wine is allowed to rest and refine in bottle for approximately three months, enhancing its balance and drinkability.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and expressive, with a firm structure, smooth tannins, and a long, persistent finish that highlights its character.
